Construction of a solar power plant is proposed for a desert area near a school. a student has hypothesized that the shade cast

by the solar panels will increase the mortality of creosote bush, a native desert plant in the area. before construction begins, what experimental data should the student collect in order to eventually test the hypothesis?

In order for the student to be able to properly test the hypothesis, it will be needed that certain data is collected first. The student will have to take the most important things in consideration about the creosote bush, like would it be able to survive under shade (much limited sunlight), would it be able to sustain increased amount of moisture (the solar panels will keep some of the moisture below them), but also being exposed under high temperature. The conditions for the creosote bush will change significantly, so these three things will be of crucial importance to be tested, since it is a very specialized plant, and those types of plants usually react very badly on sudden changes.

yarga [219]

Answer:

b.slow deformation

Explanation:

The type of deformation that is experienced by the rocks before an earthquake is a slow deformation. This slow deformation is due to some resistance to the slippage movement along the fault lines. This slippage movement is naturally occurring. The slow deformation starts to take place when their is resistance to this slippage movement and as a result of this resistance, elastic strain energy is created. This build up strain causes this slow deformation and eventually leads to an abrupt release of energy in the form of an earthquake.

Compare the scientific techniques used in natural disaster prediction to the warning given by animals and birds of the impending
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Scientific techniques used for natural disaster prediction involves using off-shore cameras to predict hurricanes, predicting the movement of tectonic plates for earthquake, and supercells used for spotting tornadoes etcetera

Animals and birds both have the ability to detect low frequency (infrasound) to high-frequency sounds (ultrasound) and natural disasters come with low frequency (infrasound) which got detected by animals and leads to change in animal or birds behavior.

<u>For example:</u>

  • Birds hunker down when a storm is about to hit as birds can detect the change in air pressure.
  • In 2001 Gujrat earthquake, dogs in the street began barking wildly before the disaster.

100 people are attending a newspaper conference. 45 of them are writers and more than 38 are editors. Of the people at the confe
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

There will be 16 people who are both writer and editor

Explanation:

We have given there are total of 100 people

So total = 100

There are 45 writers so,Writers = 45;

It is given that there are more than 38 editors so ,Editors > 38

Both = x;

Neither = 2x

We know that

Total = Writers + Editors - Both + Neither  

100 = 45 + Editors - x + 2x

x = 55 - Editors

We want to maximize x, thus we should minimize Editors minimum possible value of Editors is 39, thus:

x = Both = 55 - 39 = 16.

soldi70 [24.7K]
A. False

in mexico after the big earthquake in the 90's the process of reuniting survivors was done in a stadium not at the incident site where most damage and most casualties were at.
Also using common sense why would they have it there, it is where everyone will be but there will be rubble and debris and in general dangerous to be there unless you are prepared to clean it up i.e. in suits and protective gear.
